About the Grand Prix

Grand Prix are the biggest open entry Magic events run around the world, attracting thousands of players to battle for prizes and glory in a festival atmosphere. They’re high-energy and often feature the best players in the world, but you don’t have to be a pro to play. Grand Prix are open to competitors of all ages and no invitation is necessary. Playing a good game is all that matters, and with cash prizes and Pro Tour invitations up for grabs, one thing is certain: a Grand Prix is a sure-fire great time. Visit the official Magic: The Gathering Grand Prix Page for complete information.

Note: Anyone wanting to participate in the Grand Prix London main event must preregister online or on-site by Friday, August 14 at 9pm. There is no Saturday main event registration.
